Scoop Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 (edited) I'm not gigging at the moment for health reasons and although I expect that to change for the better in the months to come I thought it might be time to have a good look through my 11 strong stable of basses and make some hard decisions. I've decided to keep the essentials: My four ACGs are sacrosanct; and any future bands (if I decide I can be arsed again) insisting on "traditional" basses will be happy with my KSD Jazz or my Lakland Precision, so I'm keeping those two. That leaves the following for sale.... Rickenbacker 4003 Blue Boy Roscoe SKB3005 Schecter Stiletto Studio 4 Fretless Status Electro Mk1 [b]Warwick Fortress One[/b] In this thread, we'll deal with the Warwick. Trust me, I'll be happy if this doesn't sell. Price is firm. No trades. [b]A note to Tyre Kickers:[/b] Gosh, wouldn't it be lovely if it had three/five/six/eight/twelve strings because I just [i]know [/i]you'd have bitten my arm off and I already know how many of you would love it but are just too skint at the moment. Such a shame. Oh and it's neither overpriced nor underpriced. It's just priced. The quoted price is what I think it's worth. Your opinion on the subject doesn't matter. [b]A note to genuinely interested parties:[/b] It's a really nice bass. It's been my go-to for the best part of a decade and I've played close to 800 gigs with this chap. If it was a Fender it would have "Mojo" but because it's a Warwick it's just a bit beat up - although by no means knackered and it'll never let you down. The neck is delightfully slim, it has the brass Ajustanut 1 (better than the plastic Mk2) and everything works as it should.

OutToPlayJazz Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 I loved the note to the "tyre kickers"! Very apt and well put. It's your sale and people should keep their opinions to themselves. Best of luck with the sale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fretmeister Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 Personally - I think that is cheap. Awesome bit of kit. I did have a 5 string for a while and it was lovely. The body shape gives such amazng balance - even for a bad-back bloke like me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
